Last week Dad was sentenced to 6 years in a Cambodian prison. We are absolutely devastated, and I’m so worried about my dad’s health.

The only thing giving me hope is that there are 25 days left to appeal. 25 days to fight for Dad’s release.

I need your help. Please call Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs Penny Wong and let her know that Australians expect her to intervene to save an Australian man. We won’t abandon an innocent man; whose only crime was compassion.

Penny Wong: (08) 8212 8272

Peter Greste said it best on ABC radio yesterday: “The Australian Government insists that it's a defender of the basic democratic principles in the region, including things like rule of law, due process, basic human rights [...] if it wants to be taken seriously and with respect then it needs to forcefully stand by those values in cases like James”.

The Australian government needs to uphold Australian values. Please be Dad’s voice and call Penny Wong on (08) 8212 8272. He doesn’t have much time left.

I have hope because of you.

Thank you, Rox
